Remember that song “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses? There are all kinds of Spanish Memes about it.

I don’t get it either.

I’ve never grown a beard before, so I’m gonna try the whole No-Shave-November thing. Is it gonna look like the first 30 frames of this:

Or more like this:

Were I a betting man, I’d put it on the latter. Anyway, I hope you have a good month. Thanksgiving is coming up, and it’s also only a year until we have to choose between Hillary Clinton and whoever emerges from the charred pile of also-ran corpses in the GOP primary, so…YAY.

I had a beard from Oct ’73 (Discharge from USA) until DoD contract in ’92, when I had to shave so the respirator would seal.
When the contract ended, I let it grow back. It was white!
Had the beard since, though it is short and well trimmed…

Cyn, I’m just sitting on my couch and my chin is cold. It’s an adaptation thing. It’s just weird that it’s so localized. It’d be like if you wore a sweatband on one wrist for a month and then took it off.

BTW, I think that whomever the Republican nominee is, there should be an ad showing a skinny-jean, man-bun, beard-wearing hipster and the caption, “He’s voting for Hillary. Don’t you think you can do better?”

Because Anita is now *on watch* for anaphylactic shock, we realized that she, like Obama, needed to have a (epi)pen and a phone with her at all times.
She went to Costco (On Saturday!) to get a phone.
When she got home, she was totally fragged and opened a bottle of wine.
She ended-up with a “Samsung Core Prime”(I told her to just get a Galaxy S4, but whatever).
Now, I need to get a wireless router for the house so that she can load shit on the phone without using her data allotment. We have no other Wi-Fi shit, but I’m sure that we will.
We still have a 27” CRT TV that will have to go to the dump so we can get a flat-screen smart-tv that will use the Wi-Fi router to stream movies with much stuttering and many interruptions and drop-outs, due to our suck-ass DSL.
I got close, but I hoped that I’d already be dead by the time all our tech stuff got timed-out.
We’ve had, for the last ten years, a Motorola Flip-Phone that is just “A Phone”. We always took it when we went “Past The Mailbox”, so that the alarm company could call us for a fire or burg-alarm. Most of the time it is powered-off and in a drawer.
We’ve never before been ‘tethered to a phone”.
So it goes…

Chris, I broke down and bought a smart phone earlier this year, and then promptly broke it and had to replace it with a samsung core as well. I’m not a fan. If this one breaks I may very well go back to a flip phone just for the hell of it.

Well I might take a train
I might take a plane, but if I have to derp
I’m going just the same
I’m going to Kansas City, Kansas City here I come
They got some crazy lil’ women there
And I’m gonna get me one.
